Are there any small companies that use Lanier?  Just looking for a couple to three hours a day to fill. 

I saw this article yesterday in the news.  I back tracked and found a link to it:

Time Warner Cable to Trial Usage-based Billing Scheme for High-speed Internet

First of all let me tell you about myself. I am way past the time when I have to "make" a living, do not have children to raise, can work if I want and not if I want, have just reached that point of not having to put up with much of anything anymore. My question is to you- yes you- the one who is posting here complaining and complaining about how this work has gone downhill and it has. If you are younger and really need the money and need to work and make a decent salary, why are you hanging on to something that does not look like it will change? I see the letters supposedly being written to the president, 60 minutes and the like. What do you think that will do, if anything? I am really surprised that the trend in this job is sinking even further in the money department, no raises ever and if you want more money, then work long, long hours and 7 days a week. Instead of fussing and being irritated about the lack of work, the lack of money, etc., why in the world do you not try to find another "real" profession before you get to an age to where you would really be stuck, that is not ever being able to pull out from this hole ever. I could not raise a family on what I make now but that is the difference in me and most I read on here. Ladies (with an occasional gent thrown in here or there) what are you thinking about? Why not make a change while you are young and can? There are loads of jobs for the medical field, if this is what interests you. Staying at home with the kids was perhaps ok at 1 time but not anymore. Why not get out while the getting is good and you still have a chance to really enjoy your job while at the same time being able to survive? Think about it.

I need a part time job but I can't work more than 10-15 hours a week.  Is there any such animal? Everyone I have contacted wants me to work 20 hours.

TIA

I purchased a laptop mainly for when we go RVing in the summer as sometimes I receive a lot of work (on tape) from my own local account and instead of needing to stay home so I can complete it by Monday I can now go camping and work and do my work. However, at home, I mainly use my laptop for my on-line job. My laptop has more RAM than my regular PC and everything seems faster on, so I prefer using my laptop.

I am waiting for the new ExpressCard to hit the market from Verizon (or Sprint) and hope to sign up for their unlimited Internet pkg. which will be faster than the dial-up that I currently have (which is all that is available to me), then I can actually do my on-line job (live on a platform) when away from home on my laptop as well if need be. I did check with the tech dept. of the software program and was told that I could connect to their platform this way. My laptop did not come with a PC card slot, just the new ExpressCard slot that all laptops will be made with in the future (is my understanding).

Do you have any particular questions about using a laptop for work???

This is basically a vent--I've decided I need to look for another job.  Two months ago I took an inhouse job (4 hours per day) at a orthopedic surgeons' group with the understanding that after a period of time this could be a full-time position.  But nothing has been said lately about that.  The office is moving the week after Christmas to a newer building.  I've been told the cubicle I'll be in is still just a one-person setup.  They have another lady who comes in for 4 hours in the morning and has been doing this for about 7-8 years. 

She is on vacation for 2 weeks and I'm coming in for my 4 afternoon hours.  I don't think I can keep the transcription caught up, even though the patient load has decreased some.  (This is a 10-doctor practice.)  I've wondered if I should ask to come in full days while the other person is on vacation.  Should I just wait and see how far behind I get before asking? 

I don't want to burn any bridges even though I'm looking for a full-time job. On the other hand, frankly, I believe they are being cheap because the other Transcriptionist is paid by-line and, of course, she isn't paid while on vacation!  Your thoughts would be appreciated--I'm losing sleep worrying about getting so far behind.

I currently work 30 hours as an IC, but I am looking for a different company that has benefits.  Are there any companies that hire part-time (30 hours a week or less) and have benefits?

Thanks so much!

Hope you don't mind my asking why Spheris part time is not working out for you?  Thanks.  Just want to know what I could be getting into.
